The music is better than the movie

[@jout738]

Yes I agree Revenge of the sith been always be number 1 as music theme in the movie and as movie itself. My personal favorite for years have been the theme where Anakin walks with his 501st legion to the jedi temple, when it just sounds so epic and you know where this is going towards, when his about to kill all the jedies and sith empire will rise after I think. This video ranking is preatty good, but I think all sequals movies should be last, because the movie story is copy from orginals and there is no new great music themes, because they did not put that much effort into it, when the story of the movies were also going to be shite. Atleast the prequals and even Phantom Menace offers some new great Star Wars themes we had not heard before in orginals, so thats why I think Phantom Menace themes are even better, than Star Wars sequals themes are.

[@arden.in.the.garden]

Sideways must always be the intellectual.

[@nosher0267]

They're both wrong, actually. "Binary Sunset," or whatever you want to call it, is actually (as I see it) the Hero's Journey Theme for ANH. Since ANH was originally just "Star Wars" and it was likely going to be a standalone movie, Williams needed a way to convey Luke's journey throughout the movie. If you think about it that way, the music makes so much more sense in the context of both the Binary Sunset scene and the Throne Room scene: the former represents Luke's longing for adventure and the unknown world, and the latter represents Luke's triumphant return to the known world. It even shows up in other pivotal points for the Hero's Journey, such as Obi-Wan's (the "mentor's") introduction and "the abyss" where every other ship has been destroyed in the trench run and there are more seconds before the Death Star blows ups the Rebel Base. I really don't understand why nobody else sees this.

[@samuel030s]

I think it is the Force theme, not necessarily a “Hero’s Journey Theme”

[@samuel030s]

Even if the movie was made to be standalone, the Force plays a role throughout the film. It plays when Obi Wan is introduced because he is a Force wielder, an agent of the Force. Much like “Vader’s Theme” is really the Imperial March, but is heard when Vader is on the screen because he is an agent of the Empire. One could argue that the Force theme could also play for Vader, but it could also be said that Vader’s allegiance to the Empire outweighs his use of the Force. As for why the Force theme plays during the trench run, that’s because Obi Wan speaks to Luke through the Force and because Luke uses the Force to help guide the proton torpedoes. The reason it plays during the binary sunset theme is because Luke is considering the consequences of leaving Tatooine, and the Force helps guide Luke down the path that will eventually restore balance to the Force (kind of). That said, I see how it could be thought of as a “Hero’s Journey Theme”, both ideas work.

Hey Jedi maybe you might wanna stop blaming Anakin and take accountability like Obi-Wan did

[@JainaSoloB312]

Duel of the Fates "while Anakin is riding on his speeder on Tatooine just like how we meet Darth Maul" is completely missing the point. He's racing to save his mother, he's trying to save someone he loves despite being told to let go. What leads him to the Dark path in the end? The same exact thing. His mother warns him in TPM "You can't stop the change, anymore than you can stop the suns from setting" and what's happening in the background as he races to save her? The suns setting. Duel of the Fates is about Anakin losing his family, first his father figure Qui-Gon, then his mother Shmi, then his brother Obi-Wan. These losses shift the destiny of the entire galaxy forever. And directly leading up to each loss, a version of Duel of the Fates plays.

[@Shizilol]

Duel of the Fates is about, Fates. Qui Gon Vs Maul was a Fate between Anakin’s fate. If Qui Gon beats Maul, light side wins, if Maul kills Qui Gon, Anakin will slowly drifts to the dark side. Same with his mother. If Anakin saves his mother alive, he stays in the light side. But if his mother dies, he goes deeper in the dark. The first two movies uses duel of the fates as Anakin fates to the dark side hard

Clap and cheer plz" every 10 minutes or so, without anything new of substance, that I hate it It's not as flawed in how it's written in a vacuum like some other scores outside of Star Wars, but it's so pathetic in how it's used (likely the fault of the director, JJ Abrams) that it's possibly one of my least favorite soundtracks in any movie And that sucks to say cause I don't hate the sequels

And if Maul won, then Anakin wouldn't have Qui Gon as his master and he'd inevitably fall to the dark side. And of course, we know what happened with that.

[@JainaSoloB312]

Also! Duel of the Fates "while Anakin is riding on his speeder on Tatooine just like how we meet Darth Maul" is completely missing the point. He's racing to save his mother, he's trying to save someone he loves despite being told to let go. What leads him to the Dark path in the end?The same exact thing. His mother warns him in TPM "You can't stop the change, anymore than you can stop the suns from setting" and what's happening in the background as he races to save her? The suns setting. Duel of the Fates is about Anakin losing his family, first his father figure Qui-Gon, then his mother Shmi, then his brother Obi-Wan. These losses shift the destiny of the entire galaxy forever.

Thankfully I think alot of us agree that Qui Gon v Maul was actually also the more important duel for the fate of the galaxy than Yoda v Sidious. I think Sidious talking about how "Vader will become more powerful than either of us" makes it explicit that at that stage the dark side had already won.

Lunchtime, part of the Rey's Theme Suite, is one of my favorite Star Wars pieces, even if it only last for 30 seconds. I rarely hear it mentioned but I love it

[@diadokhoi5722]

"Revenge of the sith introduces very little themes to the film" (Padme's funeral) Apparently in the previous movie too lazy to check Grievous theme Dark deeds Battle of the heroes Order 66 (Temple march) same as padmes funeral battle of coruscant I am the senate Whatever the falling ship down is called Bruh

[@ThedudeColon]

Padme's funeral is played during Qui Gonn's funeral. So that's not unique to revenge of the sith either.

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

@@Major_Ursa The hints of Anakin vs Obi-Wan go back as far as the Empire Strikes Back. In the scene on Dagobah where Luke faces 'Vader' that music can be heard. Not as grand or epic mind you, but the structure is there nonetheless. But seriously Battle of the Heroes alone is better than any of the original music of any of the sequels, hands down.

>Revenge of the Sith at 1 Alright this list is valid. God I love that soundtrack so much. The fucking war drums building up to the reveal of the full scale of the Battle Of Coruscant is one of the greatest moments in Star Wars and the score just keeps delivering from the first seconds to the very end. Love it.

[@danielkellen5969]

Plus the Jedi temple march. The Arena track absolutely SMACKS!

[@Deathpool_04]

For me, it’s so difficult to pick a favorite for that movie. There’s just so many good ones and they are used perfectly in the movie.

[@TherealSwagJack]

The only theme I’m disappointed that they didn’t talk about was “Love Pledge and The Arena”. This theme takes great beats from across the stars, then immediately transitions to an ominous snap back to reality in the Geonotian arena. And when the droids get revealed to attack the Jedi, Oh my gosh. That is a bop. And the way the second half of the song gets used again in anakins March on the Jedi temple is so amazing. I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about this.

[@beetdigger1975]

Yes, my favorite part of love pledge and the arena is when the across the stars theme speeds up

Basically, even John Williams doesn't know what to do with The Rise of Skywalker.

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

If I recall correctly, they actually had Williams compose the music BEFORE the movie was done. The poor man hadn't even seen the film he was writing the music for, so he pretty much tried to do a tribute to Star Wars music as opposed to writing music that could clash horribly with the scenes they were scored to.

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

@Jimb0 Exactly. That's actually as close to a compliment as Rise of Skywalker will ever get.

[@julian5699]

Classical Music Makes sense. They were still shooting in November.

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

@@octaviocontrerasvalle811 It's not inherently bad but it's not very original. And we know John Williams is no slacker when it comes to writing film scores. I mean The Force Awakens has an excellent score, even if it fails in many other aspects.
